From Temptation to You - Jeffrey Lee Pierce

Oh, what blue daughter there in the sun

Always claiming to be the one

Who would drop that name on you

Temptation has passed you

You know what it takes to make the wind blow

What it takes to make the minds grow

Who could say «go away» to you

Temptation has passed you

With your mind on fire and raving the end

You open the gates and welcome the men

Saying I was never a friend of you

Temptation don’t want you

And the nights are hot beneath your feet

They cancel your eyes and your dreams

But, that don’t seem to bother you

Temptation has passed you

And don’t you get sleepy in my bed

You’re always painting my sheets red

Don’t play dead, because I know you

Temptation has passed you

And it’s cold and sick in the wind

The Indians come and speak of sins

It’s going crazy again for you

Temptation don’t want you
